For the Bible Tells Me So

At that time, the Canaanites were
in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I
will give this land.” (Gen. 12: 7)

How convenient. A Jewish God, spoke in some language
understood by Abram, without witnesses, by the way, declaring that his children
would be God’s chosen and as proof, God had in mind to give Israel, who did not
yet exist, the land of another people.[1]

There are several problems with this narrative.

In the first place, “There is no empirical evidence that any
God even exist. In fact, there are no peer-review scientific articles that take
God’s existence seriously,”[2]
much less a God who spoke of a state called Israel three thousand years into
the future.

Zionists love to quote Genesis 12:

And God said to Abram, “Go from
your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will
show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make
your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless
you, and him who curses you, I will curse; and by you all the families of the
earth shall bless themselves. (Gen. 12:1-3)

When they quote this, they hope that you will not remember
that when this was written, Abram had no children. There was no person or
nation named Israel. The man Israel was
born two generations in the future as one of the twelve grandsons of Abram. He certainly was not a state. Yet, 3000
years later Jewish survivors of Hitler’s holocaust moved to Palestine saying,
“That’s us.” All this is a long way from God’s promising the land of Palestine as
theirs forever.

Israel’s founders claimed to be atheists. Yet, they claimed the
land of Palestine to be theirs because a “God” they didn’t believe in gave it
to them.

The bottom line is this: The land of Palestine is in the
hands of Israel because of military might and terrorism, not some kind of
divine donation.

For those who need a book, or holy writ; The Old Testament
prophets and the entire New Testament demand peace, not war. There are no
exceptions. You cannot find one verse which says, in this case or that, it will
be OK to take another person’s life or land.

[1] It is
worth noting that the first seed of Abraham was Ishmael, not Isaac.

Disappointed that your liberalism denies the existence of God when testimony of His history with Israel,and His judgement by flood waters was attested to by One who lived the Law perfectly , died as predicted and then proved His deity by reclaiming His life at the resurrection. https://goo.gl/XtEjiS

There were no miracles here, just a lot of unnecessary illegal immigration, terrorism against Brits/natives, massacres & ethnic cleansing(creating worlds largest/longest suffering refugee population), assassinations-like Count Bernadotte/Lord Moyne, etc…all done with their Christ/gentile despising Talmud in their pockets…Doesn’t seem much like a holy mission..One is almost forced to ask exactly what side “christian” Zionists are on..Christ’s or the Synagogue. If you think there’s no difference that would have been news to the apostles.

It is a pity indeed that God omitted in His promise to Abram the clarification that the "kindred" include, of course, convert Khazaris!That aside, as mentioned above, the Zionist leaders did not believe in God, but brazenly promoted the notion He gave them land!

The Patriarch Shem, and his Godly Influence in the World.The Black Hats -.Canaan the son of Ham - took by force Shems' inheritance, [Shem, from whom came the term Semite ] that being the land called Palestine today. Judah married a Canaanite woman and thus except for one pure line beginning with the Tamar/Judah union from whom Christ came, Judah became mixed and degenerate by following Nimrods' [the grandson of Ham] Babylonian pagan idolatry or Baal worship. The priests of Nimrod the founder of Babylon wore black robes. .For more precise details see:- “The Book of Jubilees.” Rev George H. Schodde’s translation from the Ethiopic —- Ch.8…… “This portion came by lot for Shem and his sons that, they should possess it for ever unto his generations for evermore.”.“The priests of Nimrod the founder of Babylon wore black robes.”.The Chemarims or Khamarim are the black -robed priests of Baal , who were appointed by the kings of Judah to conduct worship In high places . Chemarims '' Idolatrous Priest '' , comes from The root word Kamar meaning '' to be black '' , which explains the '' idolatrous priest '' wore black garments ( Zephaniah 1 ; 4 ) , which the judges, priests, rabbis and Cohen's wear today ...Canaan: a son of Ham, [Genesis 10:6]., Cursed by Noah, [Genesis 9:20-26]., Idolatrous, [Deut. 29:17] ., Defiled, [Lev. 18:24-27]."Canaanite", Strongs Hebrew Concordance 3669, a merchant, a trafficker. . Judah married a Canaanite woman and had sons to the daughter of foreign gods - Malachi, chapter 3 & 2:11., Genesis 38:1-10.Roman general Hyrcanus captured Edom and its population was integrated into the Judean community around 125BC.In Talmudic tradition the mother defines identity so then the people who are today identifying as Jews are in reality Canaanite/Edomites-Amaleks if not in the flesh then in spirit..According to the Mishnah, the first written source for halakha, the status of the offspring of mixed marriages was determined matrilineally..Judah also began a pure blood line, Judah/Tamar [ Gen. 38:14-19 ] which line ended with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ..No blemished Judah blood [Judah/Canaanite/Edomite - Amalek] was allowed as an antecedent in the line of those chosen to precede the birth of Jesus Christ..http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/1351-amalek-amalekites.The “Jews” Babylonian Talmud says: "Five things did Canaan charge his sons: love one another, love robbery, love lewdness, hate your masters, and do not speak the truth" The Last Will of Canaan, Babylonian Talmud, Peshachim 113b. .To be an Orthodox Jew is to agree with the Talmud that, "It is permitted to deceive a goy." (Baba Kama 113b) , .Revelation 3:9,"Behold, I give out of the synagogue of Satan those saying themselves to be Jews, and they are not, but they lie,. Behold, I will make them them come and bow down before your feet, and they shall know that I loved you.".Romans 2:28-29 "..........For he is not a Jew that is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that outwardly in the flesh; but he is a Jew that is one inwardly and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; of whom the praise is not from men, but from God.".A Shemite in my opinion is not only a descendent but a representative of Shem. The usurpers of the name Jew today fail in that they are not of the nature of Shem..Therefore it is those who falsely call themselves Jews who are anti-Semitic – “By their fruits you shall know them” Matthew 7:15-20 NKJV ..http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/1351-amalek-amalekites.http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Scripture/Parashah/Summaries/Ki_Teitzei/Amalek/amalek.html

The Edomites."In the days of John Hyrcanus… the [non-Israelite] Edomites became a section of the Jewish people." Article entitled "EDOM," Encyclopaedia Judaica Vol. 6, p. 378 (1971) .The Jews are of Esau (Esau married into the Canaanites – descendents of Ham - Edom, Edomites) from Idumea, and therefore not of Israel or Judah; Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925, vol. 5, page 41..This controversy is one of the major themes of Scripture throughout history. It appears again in Ezekiel 35, 36, where we find that the descendants of Esau-Edom (or Idumea) coveted the land and rejoiced when Israel and Judah went into captivity. Divine judgment is thus pronounced “against all Edom, who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession” (Ezekiel 36:5)..Isaiah 34:8, KJV, calls it “the controversy of Zion,” speaking of divine judgment against Edom. Historically, about 126 B.C. the Judean leader, John Hyrcanus, conquered Idumea (Edom) and forced them to convert to Judaism. Josephus wrote about this and concluded by saying, “they were hereafter no other than Jews” (Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, ix, 1). The Jewish Encyclopedia says “from this time the Idumeans ceased to be a separate people,” for they were absorbed into Jewry. This meant that the prophecies of Judah and Edom were bound together..Malachi 1:1-4 prophesies of this controversy, showing the Zionist motives of Esau. Verse 4 says,.4 Though Edom says, “We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins”; thus says the Lord of hosts, “They may build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the Lord is indignant forever.”.This is a prophecy of modern Zionism in the past century. The spirit of Edom has worked within world Jewry, saying, “we will return.” God does not refute this, but says only that “I will tear down.” If Edom had not returned and rebuilt the ruins, God would have nothing to tear down, so the establishment of the Israeli state was inevitable..The establishment of the Israeli state was the fulfillment of Isaac’s blessing upon Esau, for at that time Esau received the dominion and took the birthright name Israel for itself..The second half of this controversy involves the remnant of Judah to whom the Edomites were united forcibly in 126 B.C. This turned out to be the “evil fig” (Jeremiah 24) company which remained in rebellion against God. They rejected Christ and usurped His throne, as we have already shown. Jesus then cursed the fig tree (representing the nation), but later prophesied that this fig tree would again come to life and bring forth leaves (Matthew 24:32). Leaves, of course, were the very reason why the fig tree had been cursed earlier (Matthew 21:19). Jesus came looking for fruit, but only found leaves—a show of righteousness..The evil figs of Judah later found common cause with the Jewish Edomites. The Zionist prophecies of Edom matched the prophecy of the cursed fig tree coming to life and producing more leaves. Together, the result was Zionism and the state of Israel (so-called)..From a genealogical standpoint, neither the Jews nor the Edomites were Israelites, as defined by the prophets. Most of the prophets wrote of Israel after the kingdom had been divided, and so they wrote about Israel and Judah as two separate entities. In my view, the regathering of the lost House of Israel has been fulfilled in a different way and through different people, as I explained in my book, Who is an Israelite?.http://gods-kingdom-ministries.net/daily-weblogs/2014/11-2014/the-looming-controversy/.http://gods-kingdom-ministries.net/teachings/books/who-is-an-israelite/chapter-5-israel-in-romans-9-11/

I show in a forthcoming book, that most look at the Abraham story as an historical happening. Those who try to justify the Jewish claim to physical territory do that. However, when that story is seen as an allegory, like the Odyssey, everything changes. For example, the term “land” in the story is a met-aphor for “consciousness.” So Abraham left one type of consciousness to seek another. What he is seeking Jesus called the “kingdom” and the Adam and Eve story calls “the Garden of Eden.” It is a way of being that most do not understand, less live. It has its own principles and logic.
